Recent Progress on Nickel-Based Oxide/(Oxy)Hydroxide Electrocatalysts for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Developing clean and sustainable energies as alternatives to fossil fuels is in strong demand within modern society. The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the efficiency-limiting process in plenty of key renewable energy systems, such as electrochemical water splitting and rechargeable metal–air batteries. In this regard, ongoing efforts have been devoted to seeking high-performance electrocatalysts for enhanced energy conversion efficiency. Apart from traditional precious-metal-based catalysts, nickel-based compounds are the most promising earth-abundant OER catalysts, attracting ever-increasing interest due to high activity and stability. In this review, the recent progress on nickel-based oxide and (oxy)hydroxide composites for water oxidation catalysis in terms of materials design/synthesis and electrochemical performance is summarized. Some underlying mechanisms to profoundly understand the catalytic active sites are also highlighted. In addition, the future research trends and perspectives on the development of Ni-based OER electrocatalysts are discussed.     

Apparatus for High-Resolution Solid Hydrogen Matrix Isolation Spectroscopy and Its Application

Apparatus integrating a Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer and a mid-infrared difference frequency generation (DFG) laser spectrometer was built for the study of the matrix isolation spectrum in solid molecular hydrogen. A 3-cm-long molecular hydrogen crystal was grown in a liquid-helium Dewar, and its infrared absorption spectrum in the 1-5 μm region was recorded to test the system. The W₀(0) (ν=0←0, J=6←0) line around 2410 cm⁻¹ of solid hydrogen was investigated with the DFG laser spectroscopy. High-resolution matrix isolation spectrum of CO² co-deposited with hydrogen on a BaF₂ cold plate at liquid-helium temperature was studied.

Intermolecular Charge-Transfer Interactions Facilitate Two-Photon Absorption in Styrylpyridine–Tetracyanobenzene Cocrystals

Cocrystals of 4-styrylpyridine and 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene were successfully prepared by supramolecular self-assembly. Donor–acceptor interactions between the molecular components are the main driving force for self-assembly and contribute to intermolecular charge transfer. The cocrystals possess two-photon absorption properties that are not observed in the individual components; suggesting that two-photon absorption originates from intermolecular charge-transfer interactions in the donor–acceptor system. The origin of two-photon absorption in multichromophore systems remains under-researched; thus, the system offers a rare demonstration of two-photon absorption by cocrystallization. Cocrystal engineering may facilitate further design and development of novel materials for nonlinear optical and optoelectronic applications.

多组件学习器实现有机分子沸点的精准预测

沸点(BP)是有机分子液体的基本物理化学量, 也是化学工业生产中的重要参数. 有机分子的沸点由分子结构决定, 呈现复杂的结构-沸点关系, 函数法(Function Method)、基团贡献法(Group Contribution Method)等传统方法无法应对复杂多样有机分子结构的预测, 应用范围狭窄, 预测精度低. 本研究中, 我们利用基于人工神经网络(ANN)和支持向量机(SVM)的多组件学习器实现有机分子沸点的精准预测. 我们构建了基于可解释性描述符的ANN、基于相关性描述符的ANN及基于复合分子指纹的SVM三个异质模型, 并通过包含4550个各种类别的有机分子沸点的数据集进行训练得到了三个异质性学习器, 最后集成三个学习器对有机分子沸点进行预测. 相比于传统方法和此前的定量结构性质关系(QSPR)模型, 多组件模型结合了三种模型的优点, 展现出很好的预测精度和泛化能力以及低的过拟合, 实现了对多种类型有机分子的沸点的有效预测.
